Spanish (BA)

Main Page Content

In
DePaul’s Spanish program, students will study Spanish language, literature and
culture. Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and
one of the official languages of the United Nations and the European Union.
Because Spanish is becoming more widely used in the United States, having the
ability to speak and understand the Spanish language will provide students with
many professional opportunities.

Courses
in the Spanish major cover a variety of topics, including:

Business

Cinema

Culture

Language

Linguistics

Literature

Translation

As
Spanish majors, students are encouraged to participate in one of DePaul’s Study
Abroad programs in order to grow linguistically and expand their cultural
understanding of Spanish-speaking societies. DePaul sponsors programs in
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico and Spain.

Chicago is a diverse city
that—through its festivals, neighborhoods, restaurants, museums, and other
cultural institutions—provides students with many opportunities to practice
their Spanish and explore the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world.
